Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVENT PLANNING

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] Embodiments of a present disclosure relate to a planning system, and more particularly to a system and a method for event planning.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Planning for major events such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and the like requires a lot of brainstorming. Event planning can be a time consuming and an expensive process. Multiple tasks must be performed, and numerous choices need to be made. For instance, in case of a wedding plan, one must focus on each related aspect of the wedding plan such as hotel booking for guests, booking a photographer, choosing and booking a hairstylist etc.

[0003] In the past, event planners used to rely on deploying many dedicated people for making arrangement for various aspects of the event to be organized. However, it was difficult for the event planners to avoid human mistakes and bring a coordination among the dedicated people while performing a given set of tasks. Subsequently, various event planning systems were devised which could plan and fulfil the plurality of events according to the user’s requirement.

[0004] At present, some systems have been introduced with the solution which provides an individual service with respect to an event. For example, in case of wedding plan, one must go to different system for choosing and booking the venue and in the same manner, one must go to different system for hotel booking. However, user or an organizer needs to go to plurality of systems for accessing plurality of services to plan and fulfill the event which is a time-consuming process.

[0005] Furthermore, other systems provide an integrated interface to plan and fulfil the requirements of one or more events. However, in such systems, manual intervention is required to fulfil services associated with the event which makes the system unreliable.

[0006] Hence, there is a need for an improved system and method for event planning in order to address the aforementioned issues.

In one exemplary embodiment, some of the event services may be time-sensitive which needs to be done on exact date and time. For example, in a wedding function, the bridal makeup should start exactly 5 hours before a wedding ceremony. Further, the event planning technique may be configured to generate the event plan by considering one or more timebound event services and fix these slots in a calendar.

[0035] In one embodiment, the non-time sensitive event services are considered as“idle time to do services”. For example, wedding cards may be distributed to the attendees one month before or at any time and will be created in calendar slots based on appropriate routing techniques and based on the availability of the event services.

[0036] In some embodiment, the event plan generation subsystem (40) may be configured to enable the corresponding user to generate the event plan by selecting the at least one event service from the plurality of available event services.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment, the event plan is generated by fetching the one or more event services via one of the mode of communication, wherein the event plan is considered as an event master plan. Further, the event master plan is generated by considering individual plans of the corresponding one or more users and the one or more service providers.

[0050] Furthermore, at least one of the one or more users, at least one of the one or more services providers and a combination thereof may customize the individual plan by providing the corresponding one or more inputs such as unavailability of at least one service provider at the time of event, addition of at least one event service in the master event plan, removal of the at least one event service in the master event plan, change in plan of any visitor and the like based on the requirement of the corresponding user, the service provider and the event master plan. In one embodiment, the event master plan may be changed based on the customization in the individual plan of the corresponding user, the service provider or a combination thereof which in turn alters cost required to plan the master event.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the individual plan of the corresponding user, the service provider and the combination thereof may be affected by any change in the event master plan. In such embodiment, any change in the event master plan may include a change in the date of the event, change in number of people of a particular service, change in location, change in time and date of the event and the like.

[0052] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the system (70) for event planning of FIG. 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one exemplary embodiment, the wedding event has been planned. A user (80) provides a plurality of inputs by an input receiving subsystem (90) such as name of the event, location of the event, date and time of the event, services required to fulfil the event, budget details, number of visitors and one or more details associated with the visitors on a platform. Upon providing the plurality of inputs, the event plan generation subsystem (100) is configured to check availability of plurality of services associated with the event in the event service database (110) by fetching the supplier’s details from supplier’s database (120) which is stored on the server.

[0053] Subsequently, upon fetching the supplier’s contact information, the event plan generation subsystem (100) sends the request to the supplier system which is present outside the server for checking the availability of plurality of event services associated with the wedding event through an application program interface (API) or non-application programming interface mechanism and then the supplier system upon receiving the available plurality of event services, sends the plurality of event services to the event plan generation subsystem (100).
